Overwintering Tropical Hibiscus in Delaware

Tropical hibiscus may not survive zone 7a (Rehoboth Beach) winters — average 43-45°F means lows below 35°F. Overwinter indoors or in a shed with a window. Don't prune until spring — stems store winter energy. If in shed, water every 2 weeks when soil dries. Wrap pot in bubble wrap, top in burlap after New Year, unwrap mid-Feb. Prune and fertilize when moved out in spring.
